A rare varietal expression from Bordeaux, Château du Vieux Puit Petit Verdot showcases the depth and character of a grape more often used in blending than standing alone. This bottling highlights Petit Verdot’s full potential—structured, aromatic, and deeply colored.
The wine opens with intense notes of blackberry, violet, and plum, layered with hints of spice, cocoa, and earthy minerality. On the palate, it is bold and firmly structured, with polished tannins and a long, persistent finish. A distinctive Bordeaux that offers both power and elegance, ideal for those looking to explore beyond the classic blends.
Aged in French oak barrels, this Petit Verdot benefits from controlled maturation that softens its natural tannic grip while enhancing complexity. The oak integration brings subtle notes of vanilla, spice, and toast without overpowering the fruit, allowing the varietal’s character to remain front and center.
